That's what you and your ilk say but its not what the survey says !!!

What's in the "Our thought bubble:" is opinion not part of the survey !!!

Here is another link. Notice in reporting on the poll they engage in one side opinion. They can't avoid being Fake News while reporting on it !!! They quote a leftwing Harvard Law School professor who wrote a book on disinformation and right-wing media. Offer nothing from the rightwing as counterpoint !!!
Spurious FAKE NEWS !!!.

Poll: Americans view fake news as a bigger problem than terrorism
https://www.axios.com/americans-fake...0d68ab99c.html

Americans view made-up news and information as a bigger problem than other critical issues, including terrorism, immigration, climate change and racism, according to a new survey from Pew Research Center.
You take this as a victory for Trump, but you haven't thought critically enough to realize that agreeing with fake news as a problem doesn't mean agreement on the source..

I agree fake news is a major problem. I also say Trump IS the fake news propaganda. So is that other rot you like to push around here, like Alex Jones and Infowars. That is what fake news actually looks like. And you're right, I'm not buying it.

Are you working at a Russian troll farm? Is it a small room crowded with others like you sowing discord in the US. Do you do it for the money only or is this a cause you believe strongly. Asking for a friend.

Anything on television these days is propaganda. Most of it has some SJW agenda behind it as well.

You have me confused with someone else perhaps. I've never used Alex Jones and Infowars as a source or link but you can back up your accusation and prove it by posting it !!! I have commented on as have many others on all sides.

I freely admit to seeing Fake News on both sides. The overwhelming bulk of it is leftwing democrat media and CNN is the biggest culprit with nearly 24/7 Fake News & pseudo news.

IMO the proof is in the survey.
Pew noted that Republicans tend to be more skeptical about the media and more likely to think coverage is one-sided.
( common sense, most media is leftwing, the proof itself is in the last link I posted )

62% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said fake news is a big problem, compared with 40% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents.
( why would Dems complain when they benefit from it politically,
less reason to see it as a problem )

The biggest Fake News story has been the Fake Russia Collusion Story of the last several years. Even in this thread people are still pushing the idea like it was real and not fake. The credibility of the left has been disadvantaged by EBD and fake news is big part of the reason.

Agree, Trump creates the fake news then blames others. Like a little child telling his parents, Johnny did it not me.

Did you read your link and the embedded link to the poll?

57% say political leaders and staff create a lot of made up news.

The primary focus is internet not cable news or traditional print.

The OP is not working for anyone. No one would pay for this kind of garbage. You wonder what pathetic lives these Trumpist trolls must lead, to have so much time to spend, fawning all over such an unworthy fraud.
